Prof. Else beginning her talk on 'Understanding the lifestyle of whipworms and the host immune response to infection'
We thoroughly enjoyed Professor Kathryn Else's fascinating seminar on whipworm biology & immunology.
A big thank-you to Professor Else for an excellent seminar and to our Gold Sponsor BGI Genomics for supporting this session.

SLC7A8 is essential for metabolic fitness and function of Th2 cells, say Santosh Panda, Marco Colonna and colleagues @washumedicine.bsky.social: rupress.org/jem/article/...
#InfectiousDisease #HostDefense #Inflammation #MucosalImmunology #Helminths #Allergies
Panda et al. of the Colonna lab identify SLC7A8 as a Th2-specific amino acid transporter essential for Th2 proliferation, cytokine production, and type 2 immunity. rupress.org/jem/article/...

STAR IDAZ SC meeting happening now. Our scientists our reflecting and advising on issues like:
- How can we improve global research prioritisation?
- Major disease complexes like #FMD, #ASF, #Brucellosis and #Helminths
- Emerging topics requiring action in research activation.

@lshtm.bsky.social and colleagues:
Any reports of Ascaris exhibiting self-replicating behavior within host— adult worms residing in sites like throat, nasal cavity, or tear ducts, and depositing eggs in these warm, humid microenvironments?

A real pleasure to be a part of this beautiful new study on T cell responses in repeat controlled human infection vs natural infection with #schistosomes, spearheaded by @emmahoulder.bsky.social with many wonderful colleagues #helminths #ImmunoSky #IDSky 🪱 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Delighted to share my latest publication as a PhD candidate in @drlarey.bsky.social’s lab at @uvicscience.bsky.social!
With our international collaborators we’re excited to share our findings on the associations between #helminths and fecal bile acids! 🪱

Great to be a (small) part of this beautiful new study on global diversity of soil transmitted #helminths from @stephenrdoyle.bsky.social and colleagues 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Researchers from Swiss TPH and partners have discovered a new parasitic #worm species named Trichuris incognita during a clinical trial in Côte d’Ivoire.
The discovery is now formally recognised through the official handover of preserved specimens to the Natural History Museum in Basel.

Where can you get infected with filaria?
You can also “get acquainted” with filariae while on vacation to the islands of Fiji, Mozambique, Goa, Tahiti, and also in Egypt.
The main carriers of these parasites are mosquitoes (native mosquitoes).

The list of fish acanthocephalans in Thailand has been expanded to ten species, including one new to science. Find out more here: doi.org/10.3897/zook...

It took a while, but it is finished. First paper from my PhD thesis.

It feels like ages ago that the 2nd strongyloides meeting in Würzburg started 🪱 time is flying when you hear great science and it is not over yet! 🧪

Our preprint is now out on BioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... ⁉️How can we enrich helminth signal directly from 💩 to help us study worm populations? 🪱 #worms #helminths #STHs #NTDs With capture, we showed that mitogenomes can be enriched up to 17,000-fold without losing any info on variation!

How many types of helminths exist on Earth?
There are more than 300,000 species of helminths known on our planet that affect vertebrates. There are 300 species of helminths observed in humans (according to other sources, more than 12,000 species).

Thrilled to share my first PhD paper in European Respiratory Journal! 🎉 Ppl with soil-transmitted helminth infection more likely to have pulmonary TB, and both TB & STH are associated with raised MMPs, which correlate with worse lung pathology. publications.ersnet.org/content/erj/... #TB #Helminths

Soil-transmitted #helminths affect 1.5 billion people worldwide, but new findings from the #StopTheWorm consortium offer hope.
A combined tablet of albendazole and ivermectin is showing higher efficacy in treating these infections!
